Abstract

VIEIRA, Marcus André. Freud’s suburbs: Freud’s father and the lacanian object. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2008, vol.60, n.1, pp.152-158. ISSN 1809-5267.

The article examines how Freud describes his visit to Athens in his texts. This encounter is marked by a certain sense of vertigo, and how, according to Lacan, it represents the interlacing of the extreme point of desire with the function of interdiction. Once a limit is fixed by a ‘no’ to the unlimited jouissance, new possibilities may present themselves. The relationship between desire and interdiction is touched from the point of view of MV Bill, a brazilian rapper. Once attained the social status of celebrity, the rapper seems also subject to a certain vertigo. He doesn’t seeks Freud’s orientation nor explanation, but something else. The same obstacle that presented itself to Freud on the Acropolis now presents itself to the rapper, this encounter with the point in which success seems failure, in which a man´s top achievement make way to anguish. Thus, the article examines, from a Lacanian perspective in which the encounters of Freud and MV Bill can be seen as encounters with the object ‘a’, the possibility to find a place to that that is structurally outside, or in Lacan´s terms, ex-sisting.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; Freud; MV Bill; Suburbs; Hip-Hop; Jouissance.
